About being careful not to post the private key. I would be
embarrassed to accidentally upload my private key. I recall PGP 1
having a "keypair" with a fingerprint of the private key and public
key however in this new gpg2 it appears the same fingerprint
identifies both the seckey and pubkey. Is the long ID actually a
fingerprint of the pubkey even when identifying the seckey within
gpg2?
The fingerprint identifies the key pair, not the public or secret
component separately, and is always calculated from the public key. If
a key appears to have multiple fingerprints, it will be because there
are one or more subkeys.

Would you be able to quickly and accurately explain this fingerprint
function of gpg2 in a small paragraph?
